you ever thought that you could actually take that passion or that skill set
maybe you're a past attorney and you're retired or maybe you used to be a real
estate agent right did you ever think that you could take that skill set or
that hobby and turn it into an online brand that easily could generate $10,000
plus per month in profit well I'm living testament along with a bunch of the
other influencers that I work with over on my content in my trainings because
we've realized that you don't have to go and work the nine-to-five any longer
there are too many opportunities out there for people to take these passions
their skillset and turn it into a business online I mean think about it
who wouldn't want to do the work that they actually like doing where it
doesn't really feel like work versus going to work for someone else and
making your boss all the money while you're really doing something that you
don't truly enjoy 100% while making you know decent income so in this video
we're gonna go ahead and jump into how to find your passion or whatever that
skill set may be and then how to take it and turn it into a business oh and maybe
you don't want to start a personal brand by the time you're done with this video
but that's okay check out this video that we also put together in the top
right hand corner on the hottest new ideas or the hot
ideas for businesses in 2019 these are all businesses that I've either tried or
have had partnerships with other influencers that are doing the exact
same thing so check those out if you find that you know building the personal
brand really isn't the route for you according to the famous Maya Angelou the
true accomplishment in life is to love what you do the issue is too many people
make career decisions based on profit or opportunity or really just something
that they have to do maybe to be comfortable in life and the worst one of
them all is people probably get put into that job just based on convenience and
that's the worst type of mentality to have about a job because wouldn't you
much rather do something you love and understand that you stand the chance to
make a really good income no matter what it is out there because there is
literally an audience for just about everything you want to talk about these
days now if you want to talk about VCR repair I've used this as an example
before that might be a stretch get with the at least the DVD player but you're
getting what I'm saying if it's relevant to today's world it's a thing that you
can make into a topic and into a brain so there are six main things that you're
gonna want to take care of when getting your personal brand or when trying to
figure out what it is that you're gonna want to do so pay attention we're gonna
go through those really quickly alright the first thing you're gonna want to do
is determine what makes you unique and not just you know your knowledge around
a specific product or service because that is important but also you in
general if you're building the brand around you as a person then you have to
figure out you know what is it that makes you different people usually tend
to like my channel and stick with it long term because of the fact that we're
a little goofy we like to have fun and we just give straight information we
don't try to fluff it out and people know us for that right so figure out
what makes you you what's gonna make you stand apart from all of the other
competitors that are out there because believe it or not even in a new industry
there's probably gonna be some form of competitor for example when I first
hopped into creating you know marketing agency content I wasn't the first one to
do it there was a lot of other really big competitors already out there that
owned the space right I kind of built myself into that niche with a different
type of strategy so really understand who your audience is and what makes you
different from every other competitor out there the second thing you're gonna
want to know it's really a tip and it's super important don't quit your day job
okay I'm not telling you to quit your day jobs just yet what I did when I
first started my brand was work a full-time job and then come do this
pretty much all of the time every day for like six months when I
first started doing this brain I was putting everything I had into it and I'm
not saying that you have to do what I did and go kamikaze just I'm gonna get
it all done now but what I am saying is you do need to have a plan and you do
need to actually commit to the process without quitting your full-time job all
right unless you have the income and that makes sense don't quit your
full-time job okay you need that revenue that income that support the third thing
is to seek professional guidance guys I can't tell like perfect example I'm not
an accountant I do not like Texas I hated accounting when I was in business
school I made B's barely in Business School and actually in one of the
classes I made a C I hate accounting it does not make sense right so I hired
an accountant to do that for me to give me advice on what I should do and I call
him every single time I need help with something before I make a decision guys
professional advice is what's going to keep you from messing up from having all
of those down periods right if you want to keep climbing and going up and up and
up with your business you have to hire professionals to get you past all of
those hurdles that you're going to have to overcome yourself if you don't seek
guidance beforehand another perfect example of this would be if you want to
start a brand and you don't know how to start a YouTube channel I'm telling you
right now don't just go out and pioneer it it's already been pioneered don't
waste that time get straight to the point and get going so the fastest way
you can do that is find someone find a youtuber who's doing well and that
teaches people how to build YouTube channels and then start replicating what
they're teaching you to do hint hint we have a marketing agency and personal
branding course links in the description below oh and if you want to see why our
course is ranked one of the best marketing courses in the world check it
out in the top right hand corner the fourth thing is to develop a plan not
just a business plan but also a marketing plan a Content plan a pricing
plan or really a revenue plan right not a pricing plan a revenue plan so that
way you can understand how you could actually take the business from infancy
all the way to full-grown business generating revenue that you're
comfortable with and happy with I'll tell you guys right now because I
personally struggle with planning and organization I'm getting much better at
planning as far as organizing still in the works but the planning aspect has
made a huge difference in my life I plan just about everything now so I actually
set time aside for planning that way when I get the plan created it's much
easier to execute and we can get everything done that we need done
without the plan you're just kind of going off of what's in your head
right and you're trying to put it all into existence much more difficult to
get it completed that way so if you're not a planner and you want to take this
business seriously definitely start looking into planning I recommend
looking at things like time blocking strategies list building maybe getting a
daily planner but something to help start tracking what you're doing every
single week every single month of every single year number five is going to be
spreading the word now the first thing I recommend obviously is to get the
support of your friends and family and don't invite the friends and family like
for example if you go and create a Facebook page don't invite the friends
and family who are gonna sit there and make fun of it and not support you you
want the people who are actually gonna support and help share your content and
share your message and what you're trying to accomplish the next piece of
advice going in with spreading the word is really just making sure that you take
the necessary steps to get your facebook profile set up an Instagram a website if
it you know makes sense a YouTube channel if that makes sense so that way
you can start spreading the word to people via social media this is how we
communicate this is how we build businesses and again if you're looking
for any information on that you need to go to CerealEntrepreneur.Academy and
check out any of the courses there all of it's about digital marketing and how
to use those platforms to leverage your audience into buying a product or
service so a quick question if you have an online brand or you're working on
building your own brand what platform are you using to spread the word are
using Facebook Instagram YouTube what platform have you decided to go with as
your primary platform of operation make sure to throw that in the comments below
as well as giving us a thumbs up if you're enjoying this video so far the
sixth and final thing is to listen to all feedback and take any criticism
given to your business even if you completely disagree you can shake it off
when it first comes in if it's a completely just a completely negative
review but understand that that's that person's opinion okay and that's okay
you're gonna get people who don't always agree with you but you need to take what
they say and not instantly dismiss it but use it as a tool to make your
business and your brand better now this is literally one of the hardest things
for any human being to do because nobody likes to be told that they did wrong or
that they didn't do it right or that it was a bad job but that's going to help
you grow no matter whether it's completely off-base or not just take
everything at least into consideration and then do what you will with it after
that so guys anyone can build a career out of any brand any skill
set any passion all you have to do is find what it is about you that makes you
really unique that makes you really fun and that people want to learn about or
people want to engage with and once you find that topic all you have to do from
there is put it online and start creating content that you know the
audience's that you're promoting it to couldn't live without so since you
stayed to the end make sure to check out this video in the top right hand corner
of the hottest business ideas in 2019 if personal branding just isn't for you and
